(THEATER) Years before he set foot in
Amazon.com, Mike Daisey-the acclaimed monologist behind the Bezos-blasting
21 Dog Years and the ongoing
All Stories Are Fiction-traveled to London for intensive training in the dramatic arts. Of course, shit went ridiculously awry, and tonight brings the Seattle premiere of
The Ugly American, Daisey's theatrical wrangling of his mind-blowing time abroad, directed by Jean-Michele Gregory. (
ACT Theater, 700 Union St, 292-7676. Shows Tue-Sat at 8 pm, Sun at 4 pm, through June 26, $10-$35.)
